Adam with water brush,

Then, he made 
This world of 
Watercolors with
Just the 
Barest of brushstrokes...

silver light seeping
over toothed edges of land
widens the new day

moonlit shadows sink,
scrabbling brushstrokes streaking
canvas of morning's

golden silver threads
of sky bowing to green fields
clinging to dewdrops...

Voices have a color 
like anger or happiness,
shouting from the rainbow
in palettes of sound
Voices have a color
like red, blue, or green,
painting the silence
—in brushstrokes of fire

At midnight
silver sheen
spreads its rays

in velvet air
as pearl shadows
gleam and glow with
mystic lantern.

A silent artist
with cosmic brushstrokes
weaving pastels on
a timeless canvas
guiding lost souls home....

Brushstrokes.

Bright colored brushstrokes

Among fluffy white clouds

Hanging in a vibrant blue sky

Make one's heart smile

And satisfy ones adoring eye

Sublime beauty

Worthy of praise.

Too tired to think
Too young to die
Too afraid to dare
Too poor to try
Past prolonging 
Sense of belonging 
These letters paint brushstrokes 
Hopefully better seen than read
This soul can be felt like nothing else
Better alive than dead...

Renoir touched my heart,
my eyes, my soul, sighing lips —
illumined brushstrokes

~           ~           ~

Renoir touché mon cœur,
mes yeux, mon âme, soupirant des lèvres -
coups de pinceau éclairés

sun, your brushstrokes
in golden honey cloak; 
pencil, brush, chalk,
or charcoal all faux
cannot capture your talent. 
colour, shadow, or life  fluent
taken seriously, 
stuck in still-life beauty, 
but the present, sunny.

Watercolor Kisses 

Watercolor kisses
paint an azure canvas
atop a yawning horizon
in honeysuckle brushstrokes
and soft daffodil tints
as your lips touch mine
this wonderful morning
creating yet another
masterpiece on
my heart

dusky marmalade
drips onto the horizon
eyes feast hungrily

fiery embers glow
painted with swirling brushstrokes
artistry of God

waxing crescent moon
peeps through rich tangerine clouds
dream time approaches

Bronze soil, softened and bare
	Beneath sky stacked pillows
		Beckons the touch of green--					
			Beleaguered steps, I breathe
				Brushstrokes of tender heat
					Before my eye finds bloom
						Bathed in ruby blossoms

The radiant sun
Pounds the surface of the earth
Upon the rising of day
Forcing its presence
Onto the green and blue
Allowing the color of day
To be spread upon
The canvas of life

With an artists eye
One can see the beauty
The brushstrokes and hues
And interpret the morning, the day
As a true work of art...

The poet paints a picture
With brushstrokes from his pen
Is the scenery embattled?
Will the choir sing again?
His words are breathing characters
Living in the mind
Imagination brings to life the light
Emotions are entwined
He sees the world in poetry
The colors vibrant, sure
With love embracing distant clouds
The poet’s art is pure...

Morning masterpiece

~

Watercolor clouds wander
in early autumn dreams,
where delicate hues of
pastel woven ribbons
melt against a canvas
of blue chrysanthemum skies,
painting a soft lemon drop glow 
in daffodil brushstrokes,
creating a brand new 
morning masterpiece
for us to share  

Good morning Soupers...
